EVENT DESCRIPTION
IC Ion Chromatograph Analyzer
An IC Ion Chromatograph Analyzer is an analytical instrument used to separate, identify, and quantify ionic species in liquid samples. It operates based on ion exchange principles, where ions are separated as they pass through a specialized chromatographic column and are detected using conductivity or other selective detectors.
Ion chromatography is widely used for the analysis of anions and cations such as chloride, nitrate, sulfate, fluoride, sodium, potassium, calcium, and ammonium. The technique provides high sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility, making it essential in environmental monitoring, water and wastewater analysis, food and beverage testing, pharmaceuticals, power plants, chemical industries, and research laboratories.
IC analyzers support trace-level detection with minimal sample preparation and can be coupled with suppressors and advanced detectors to enhance sensitivity. Modern systems offer automated sample handling, fast analysis times, and robust data processing, enabling reliable routine analysis and regulatory compliance.
